Planning consent has been granted by Walsall Council for a new care home for the Restful Homes Group.

The development will provide 70 spacious rooms with a range of activities for residents including a cinema room, cafe and roof garden. The building is set in landscaped grounds making excellent use of the existing trees to form a sensory garden to the rear and a green buffer to the adjacent roads. The external appearance is contemporary using a palette of traditional materials to appeal to the changing tastes of those seeking high quality residential care. A start on site is anticipated later in 2013.
